Honda CR 85 Fault Codes

Honda CR 85 motorcycles have engines, which are made up of many different parts. These parts must work together in order for the engine to function. A problem with one of the parts can make the engine not run. There are many different parts that make up an engine. The following honda cr 85 faults are the list of some of the parts of a motorcycle engine.

The oil level of Honda CR 85 should be the same level in the dipstick, even when the engine is cold. You can check the oil level by removing the dipstick, holding the dipstick in your hand, and then reinserting the dipstick. Then, you’ll be able to see where the oil level is.

Honda CR 85 Faults :

Engine management systems of Honda CR 85 are responsible for monitoring a range of features and its warning light should go out a few seconds after ignition. The system's main job is to keep the engine running at peak performance by monitoring many parameters like coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level and air/fuel ratio. The system monitors these parameters continuously and alerts the driver if any of these parameters fall outside the predetermined limits.

Honda MIL Failure Codes

The PGM-FI MIL denotes the failure codes (the number of blinks from 0 to 54). When the indicator lights for 1.3 seconds, it is equivalent to ten blinks. For example; a 1.3 second illumination and two blinks (0.5 second x 2) of the indicator equals 12 blinks. Follow code 12 troubleshooting.

When more than one failure occurs, the MIL shows the blinks in the order of lowest number to highest number. For example; if the indicator blinks once, then seven times, two failures have occurred. Follow codes 1 and 7 troubleshooting.

Fault problems that can occur with yourHonda CR 85motorcycle engine is a blown head gasket. This can cause your engine to overheat and possibly crack the cylinder heads. In this case, it is best to take your Honda CR 85 motorcycle to a professional mechanic to have it checked out. Another common problem is with the carburetor. The carburetor is the part of your motorcycle that mixes air and fuel to create the combustion needed to power the engine.

Honda Logo

Honda Motor Company is by far the world's biggest motorcycle maker. Honda's first motorcycle was born out of necessity in immediate post World War II Japan, where public transportation was desperately overcrowded and gasoline severely restricted.Honda's first bikes were very successful and supplies of the surplus engines ran out after a few months. Business was good by then, so he decided to manufacture his own motors. Using the surplus motor as a model, Honda designed and built his own 50cc engine.

As mentioned above, if you are not comfortable with electrical diagnostic work, a dealership or qualified technician can offer assistance. Please keep in mind that even though you have the ability to clear a DTC using the onboard diagnostic feature, you shouldn't clear the code prior to your service appointment. Let the technician view and clear the codes as they troubleshoot the issue.
